Land

 At long last.

I got an approval notice for the land loan this morning. 

I don’t have the land yet, I just have the loan to pay for it. 

But the more that I think about this particular plot of land, the more I think it would work better than that 8 acre plot. It’s 22 acres, 14 acres bigger. It’s got a pond. Plenty of wooded area. Probably about 4-5 acres is power line easement, but all of that could be used for walking trails and area for fog walking/running. 

The burned out portion is ample room for office/laundry and pull through sites for big rigs. 

It’s just a bit over a mile off the Interstate. 

I dunno bur the door has been opened. I’m going to walk the property next chance I get. Which won’t be today or tomorrow, possibly Thursday for I was dumped with an impossible schedule and asked to get it done.  

I left for Oklahoma today. Dropped the trailer and heading back. But they want me to load another Oklahoma tomorrow afternoon. 

So I have to drive out every last minute today and get as close to the plant as possible and then leave for the plant tomorrow at however much time it will take to get there before my appointment time. So I’m looking at sitting in a dirt truck stop for 13 hours to make that happen.

This kind of stuff is what drives me to find a way out of trucking. I’m tired of ir and I want to work for myself. 

Now comes the rather agonizing decision of which property to take. I have 90 days. The realtor sent a list of over 30 properties today that fit my parameters. I’ve probably looked at most of them. My phone wouldn’t open the attachment so I probably won’t see it until tomorrow when I can get on a computer. Yes I like the property I used for getting the loan but there are other properties I like as well. 

So there it is. Get the land and embark on a new adventure. Land has been the eternal obstacle. There will be other obstacles to come, but I doubt nothing that comes to the level of this land business. 

I’ll post a pic of the land I’m thinking about getting on my Facebook page. 

So many things floating through my kind right now. But I’m not using a keyboard and I’m going to cut this one short.
